Staff Meeting Agenda
- Participate in CMC—vote for the community
organizations we’ll support with our fundraising efforts this month! If you want to help with our food booth

- End-of Year Holidays.
Four are coming up in November and December:
a. Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11: HPL
closed Sunday, 11/11, and Monday, 11/12. SWMSC closed Saturday, 11/10—all staff
will work at WAL. Staff who work every weekend
may take off 11/10 and reschedule hours for a day the following week.
b. Thanksgiving, Nov 22: HPL closed Thursday, 11/22 through Sunday, 11/25.
FT staff will receive holiday pay for 11/22 & 23. Saturday, 11/24, will not be a scheduled work
day—FT staff will work Monday-Friday 11/26-30; PT staff will reschedule their
Saturday hours during this week.
c. Christmas, Dec. 25: HPL
closed Monday, Dec. 24, and Tuesday, 12/25, and reopen Wednesday, 12/26. FT staff will receive holiday pay for 12/24
& 12/25; PT staff will reschedule their Monday and Tuesday hours for the
remainder of the week.
d. New Year’s Day, Jan. 1: HPL
closed Tuesday, Jan. 1. FT staff will
receive holiday pay; PT staff will reschedule Tuesday hours for the rest of the
week. On Monday, Dec. 31, all HPL locations
will close at 6 PM.
e. Leave Requests: With 4 holidays, there is enough time for
everyone to get some time off if you want, if we share—1 holiday period per
person. Turn in your leave requests in
Kronos by Nov. 9, and I’ll approve them, as long as we have enough staff
available to run the buildings.
Remember, if you want to take off your regularly-scheduled Saturday, you
must swap your Saturday with another staff member who can work on your day. Part-time
staff can take off 4 Saturdays in a calendar year (subject to prior approval).
- Team Building Opportunities.
Several staff suggested an off-site team building activity for
Staff Development Day. HPL Training
has already created a team-building activity for today, but we could plan
an activity for after-work hours. Let’s
discuss:
- What kind of activity
would you enjoy doing as a group?
- Who would like to plan
this?
- When would be a good
time?
